MoFo’in Cheezy Breadstick Pizza

During MoFo last month, entering the Daiya giveaway required describing your dream pizza. My pizza with “artichoke hearts, garlic, pesto, green olives, kalamata olives, mozzarella Daiya, sundried tomatoes, Upton’s Italian seitan, roasted red peppers, green peppers, and basil” won me some vegan cheese! Although it wasn’t part of the contest, I decided I absolutely needed to make this pizza. I slowly acquired the ingredients over the course of a couple of weeks, anxiously checking my mailbox to see if it was pizza time. One day, the coupons were there! Pizza was happening over the weekend.

This pizza has everything but the pesto, basil and sundried tomatoes because I couldn’t find them at the store I was at for less than a million dollars. Plus, “dream pizza” indicates that it’s not completely attainable.

The pizza dough is the Vegan with a Vengeance recipe, which is incredibly easy to throw together, especially with a Kitchenaid equipped with a dough hook. After topping the pizza with all the veggies, olives, and cheese, I had leftover dough. It was enough for a mini pizza, but there was no room left on the tray and I didn’t feel like getting out another tray and making another pizza. The answer was clear: cheezy breadsticks on TOP of the pizza. It sounded delicious and just crazy enough that I had to do it.

Here is the monstrosity of pizza goodness after some oven time:

It was so dreamy that I completely forgot about the lack of pesto!
